With Indy publishing, failure is still glorious. You still write for the love of it. You still get to go through the process of seeing your work come to fruition. You still get to hold a copy of your book in you hands if you want to. And if you want to do it, you can do it all for as close to FREE as you want it to be. You can spend as much as you want, or virtually nothing at all. You don't think traditional authors pay for the privilege? Of course they do. Trad publishing is the new vanity press for most unknown authors. They pay in time AND money. And they go out and get work to pay the bills and they watch as months and years go by with very little real production or income, and in the end they never make it.
